You have to use the email address of your Roku user account. It won't send the link email to an address that isn't in its database. I activated a new Ultra a couple of weeks ago, and I had the email within 60 seconds.

Same issue as the O.P.   I have had a Roku account for years. Used it to set up my 1st Roku device which I still use on a 2nd TV.

I'm just not getting the activation link e-mail from Roku and yes I've check my spam box, delete box, etc

Thoughts?

On a couple of rare occasions I've seen Roku have an activation server issue. Since it's Sunday here in the US, @RokuDanny-R probably won't be online to respond. But if it is an outage, I would expect they are working hard to restore it. Hopefully Danny can confirm if there's a problem.

Same issue here.   Trying to link 3rd Roku to existing account.  Not receiving activation emails.  Used my husband's email and he received the link, but I want all 3 under 1 account.
